Tho "I Told You So's" have a
jolly good triumph in tho smash
of tho South Sea Island colonizing
expedition from California. They
had an easy guess of it, especially
all who knew that tho adventurers
did not know, definitely, whoro
thoy wore going to land or what
they were going to do whon put
ashore from tho brig Percy Ed
wards. It is a pity, for, by all ac
counts, thoy wore a decent sort of
follows. However, tho pluck they
had bofore, reinforced by the ex
perience thoy havo now, may bo
expected to give useful careers to
all of them that romain in the
southern hemisphere. Thoy have
sold their guns, and will tako up

Somo timo ago, 100 passongcrs,
comprising a respectable class of
farmers, mechanics and laborors
arrived at Levukn, Fiji, in tho
brigautine Percy Edwards, from
San Francisco. Their intention
was to form a co-operative settle
ment on some islaud in tho South
Seas, which they inteuded to so
euro, if necessary, by force Thoy
wore all armed with Winchesters,
and several gavo up well-stocked
farms in Southern Cali
fornia. On arrival at Lovuka dis
union manifested itsolf, aud the
firearms of the company were dis
posed of for a mere song. , Six of
tbo party came on to Auckland,
but several decided to remain in
Fiji, liberal inducements being
held out by tho Fijiau Govorn
inent. It is reported that another
party, consisting of 200 men, are
fitting out in California with
tho intention of capturing one of
tho Solomon Islands.

Handicraft, tho Kamehameha
School for Boys' paper, in tho
current issue has the following:
It was a beautiful day when Mr.
Richards called me into tho office.
"Who is going to pay for your
tuition this term, John ? " ho
asked.
I told him I didn't know and
asked him for a work scholarship.
He said thero was no more room
for me, but that he would try to
got something for mo to do, and
this was to take oharge of the
lawns and flowers in front of the
dormitories. Just that spring
vacation I bad tho cleaniug 'of
lawns and watering of flowers.
Two days lator Mr. Thompson
camo to mo and said that ho aud
Mr. Richards had planned that I
must raise pigs in order to have
some money to pay for my tui
tion. Mr. Thompson said that he
would got the pigs with the money
which I earned that vacntiou. I
earned $0.80 that vacation and Mr.
Thompson got mo two pigs for
$3.00 each.
Ho said, "If you aro willing to
raise pigs, I'll help you. I will
bo responsible for your tuition
aud when you sell your pigs you
will havo to pay mo back." He
advisod mo to stick to it.
From tho first lot of pigs I re
ceived $33.70. Out of this amount
I paid $10 for tho pig's food and
tho remainder went for my tuition.
I had a piece of land about 25 by
70 feet. The first thing I raised
was beets. I succeeded with these.
The second thing was alfalfa, and
the last thing was pumpkins.
I did not have success in raising
these, because the soil is more of
day, and it kept wet all the time.
It rotted tho seeds.
Now I have a new pen ot three
divisions in which thore are two
sows and a small pig. On my
now piece of ground I have alfalfa,
sorghum, beets, aud water-melons
growing. I have more success
with these things. I havo two
hours work on my laud daily. Mr.
Thompson is tho manager of this
pig business aud it is his idoa to
havo moro boys raiso pigs if I
prosper.

MONEY
makes the mare go, is a well
known saying. We have some
thing that will make the sor
riest old nag ever hitched to a
wagon go at a regular racing
gait, and for very Tittle money
at that. Our Carriage Whips
can be had in almost any
quality and orice. from :51 to

We have still a good stock of
Cart and. Buggy Harness
to suit the purse of anybody;
we sell a first-class harness for
$16 and then "there are others"
better in quality at $25, &0

Young men like to take their
best girl out for a drive, and
the beautiful moonlight nights
we are just now enjoying, invite
amorous swains to go a moon
ing with their lady loves.
We have a dandy looking
Dog Cart that is just the
thing for a drive around the
park; it is easy riding, com
fortable, with plenty of room
for two. It is the only one of
its kind in Honolulu, and as
we are not in the carriage
business, we do not intend to
get any more, so you do not
run the risk of having the
same style as everybody else.
Will be sold very cheap.
By the last Australia we
received a Jot of Brass Stir

Ayer's Argument.
If there it any reason why you should use
nny sarsaparilla, there is every reason why you
should use Ayer's. When you take sarsaparilla
you take it to cure disease ; you want to be cured
ns quickly a.", possible and as cheaply ns possible.
That is vfcy you .should use Ayer's : it cures
quickly and cheaply aud it cures to stay. Many
people write uis : " I would sooner hnve one bottle
of Aycr's Sarsaparilla than three of any other
kind." A druggist writes that " one bottle of
Ayer's will give more benefit than six of any other
kind." If one bottle of Ayer's will .do the work
of three it must have the strength of three nt the
cost of one. There's the point in a nutshell. It
pays every way to use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
